Storm Brewing 12" x 16" Oil on Panel Contemporary Seascape Painting It's cold, rainy, icey and miserable in Texas right now. But when I am in the warm studio, I can pretend that I am on the beach, soaking up the sun and running my toes through the sand.

  Color Conversation 36" x 36" Oil on Heavy Duty Gallery Wrap Canvas Contemporary Floral I loved painting this canvas in the new studio with lots of natural light shining down on the easel.  I used brushes and palette knives to apply the thick juicy oils.  On the vase, I carved out the paint to make the pattern play.  I focused on mixing harmonious colors as I worked my way through this painting.  Adding shapes and lines as I progressed, it was so fun to paint.  Contact Kay for more info on her art!  Thanks for looking....Kay ..read more

  Blooming Bonnet  24" x 20" Oil on Panel Contemporary Floral After letting this painting sit for a couple of months, I was ready to finish it off.  I put the vase on a table, added some fallen leaves and petals.  When I started this painting, I had a beautiful fresh arrangement of flowers from my florist.  Once they died, I used a photograph as reference, and added more petals to the composition.  The vase is interesting, and was sitting around the studio holding pencils and brushes.  This painting is drying in the studio.  I can't wait to get it all f ..read more
